A boundary integral method is presented for constructing approximations to the mapping functions of bounded multiply connected regions to the standard canonical slits domains given by Nehari [11]. The method is based on expressing the mapping function in terms of the solution of a Riemann-Hilbert problem which can be solved by a uniquely solvable boundary integral equation with the generalized Neumann kernel. Three numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the present method.
